Spicy 9 was PHENOMENAL! The sushi rolls were BOGO & truly surprised the heck out of us. Gabriel was my server, SUPERB SERVICE!... He informed us about the specials & gave us some great options to choose from. The manager was just as friendly and welcoming aswell. If you're in Chapel Hill, make sure you stop by! We had the Sushi, Green Curry bowl, A sake bomb, & a margarita. Read more

The vegetarian sushi here was very okay. It wasn?t unbearable, but it tasted meh. I forgot what the appetizer was called, but it... is the picture of the green veggie roll thing. That was really good and why I am giving 3 stars because it had a lot of flavorand was so tasty! Read more

Excellent food and service, This is my son's favorite place. He often would get a few sushi rolls with others in his apartment... complex and get them delivered. I'm not a sushi fan but he loved his and I enjoyed my hibachi steak. The soup and egg rollswere good as well. Will be back on my next visit to see him for sure. Read more

Nice casual sushi spot in Chapel Hill. Large dining room with plenty of seating as well as seating around the bar/sushi bar. ... Great menu with lots of choices. The sushi rolls are buy one get one. My favorite was the "spicy 9 roll". The server I hadwas excellent and my food came out really fast. Read more

I?m somewhat regular and order from here about 3-4x/month and the sushi is good. I live down the street so I enjoy the walk. A... few days ago I ordered pick-up, and as we were walking over, my friends and I decided to stay and get drinks at the bar. When wearrived, we were refused from being allowed to sit and order more because we had already paid for pick-up. It was verystrange. We wanted to sit at the bar, order drinks, and eat sushi. After already tipping 20% on the pick up order, we were morethan happy to tip 20% again for the additional service of sitting and ordering drinks. However, we were told it is strictlyagainst store policy to allow people to sit, eat, and order drinks after ordering food ahead. But the good news is we walkeddown a block to Que Chula, the Mexican restaurant on the corner, and they happily invited us in to sit, eat our sushi, and havemargaritas. The difference in service was phenomenal. In conclusion, the sushi here is good, but if you want kind and welcomingstaff, walk a minute further to Que Chula where the restaurant wants you to be there. Read more

came here with family over the holiday weekend, and had no wait time. All 9 of us were sat immediately & served. The staff was... very friendly & the menu had plenty of options. Some members of my family don't like sushi, so they were able to ordernon-seafood items that they were happy with. I ordered a cocktail & found it to be very watered down, so I wouldn't come herefor drinks. The food was tasty and there are vegan options! Read more

I come here every Wednesday so I felt like it was finally time to review. Food is always good and well prepared, including the... sushi we?ve tried, the noodles, the ramen, the poke bowls, etc. I am a big fan of their miso soup. Today I got the drunkennoodles with a side of fried rice and white sauce, and my boyfriend got the Yummy yummy roll and the Rainbow roll. Everythingwas very enjoyable. Sometimes the restaurant can get very busy and wait time is sacrificed for quality of service. I?ve workedin the restaurant business before. Im thankful they try their best to maintain good customer service. They did bring me and myboyfriends food out 10 minutes apart, but my food was still hot by the time his came so it wasn?t too much of a big deal. It?salso important to talk about the one time that my boyfriend and I came here on a Wednesday and we were sat but not served atall. I think that?s an outlier with their service but people should be aware that it happened to me once. I don?t think ithappens often or it will happen again, as the other servers we?ve had have given us as much attention as they could. Would stillrecommend coming here to eat with a friend or family. Just remember it?s in a college town so it can get loud and busy. Read more
